Homebase retail centre owners want to more than double the size of the Shirley development. The block also includes an adjoining section at Sanctuary Gardens – a street in the Clearbrook Palms subdivision next door. Long-time Clearbrook Palms resident Peter Retimanu​ said he was cynical about Percasky’s assurances. Most of the 68 submissions received by Christchurch City Council opposed the plan change, with many stating the Sanctuary Gardens access as the reason. The nearby Palms shopping centre, which Glen and Max Percasky developed and no longer own, has also opposed the Homebase expansion.
